That Was a Nice Weekend
Well, the President's Day weekend has come and gone and it was a nice one. My husband actually had all 3 days off which is unusual considering that his weekends usually consist of just one day off. So, we got a lot done around the house. First of all, we got our income tax return done on Thursday and were able to pick up our Refund Anticipation Loan on Friday morning!
With that check deposited into the bank, I was able to go out and shop for a new refrigerator. Our old one died out after the earthquake last year. So for the last few months, we haven't had a fridge in the house. Luckily we had an extra one out in the garage that we usually just use for drinks or "overflow" from the kitchen fridge. But I'm so excited to have a fridge inside my kitchen again. Plus we really, really missed the ice maker and the water filter that was built in to our other fridge. So with the check in the bank, I went over to the local scratch and dent center for Sears. I found a nice Kenmore fridge with a few more features than the one we had (including stainless steel doors) for $815.00. I think the regular price was around $1250-$1300 so I was happy.
Our refrigerator was delivered on Sunday. On Sunday we also bought our girls shoes for the softball season because last year's shoes don't fit. We also bought a fitting to fix our water hose that got chewed up by the dogs. We picked up a new switch for the lights of our ceiling fan in our living room. Since we moved in 3 years ago, that light has never worked. We've just been using a couple of lamps in our living room for light. We'll, now the lights on the ceiling fan work! We also bought a new faucet for our kitchen sink because the old one was broken. The handle to turn the water on and off broke and, while still functional, was always falling off. So DH fixed that on Sunday too! Not to mention our weed whacker which had run out of line was fixed up with new line so that we can weed whack again.
Whew - I think we may have even accomplished a few more things, but that's just a taste of what our weekend was like. It was very productive and now our house is better because of it which makes it easier to relax in and enjoy. :)
Oh yeah - did I mention that we went running too? DH and I, along with my Father-in-Law, Sister-in-Law, and oldest daughter all did some Uphill Fitness Training yesterday! It only took us 15 minutes (including warm up time), but gave us a great workout!
